                                    | Summary: | This supplement describes the use cases & requirements of fibre-in-premises for small & medium enterprise applications (FIP4SME) as listed below.
-	The motivation of apply FIP technology in the small & medium enterprise scenario
-	Limitations of the typical networking Ethernet switching based technologies for small & medium enterprise applications
-	Use cases of FIP4SME
-	Detailed requirements of the corresponding use cases of FIP4SME (including requirements on network and operation & maintenance management in SME)
This supplement intends to update the G.suppl 78 by adding new valuable use cases for small & medium enterprise applications. |
